Abstract Fracture processes often occur in situations with the stress state in the crack region being equivalent to a field of compression and shear. In such cases, fracture problems involve both the contact problem of the mechanics of deformable solids and the crack problem, and require special methods for their solution, since the regions of contact are unknown. It should be observed that contact between crack surfaces may be caused not only by external loads but may also be due to specific features of the crack shape [1-3], as well as interaction between cracks and defects [4-5], and boundary of the elastic body [2]. For this reason, an investigation of the limit equilibrium of boundary and near-surface cracks should take into account possible interaction between crack surfaces.

We consider a two-dimensional problem for the stress-strain state of an elastic half-plane weakened by an internal or a boundary crack with curvilinear surfaces subject to friction. A method is developed for the analysis of the limit equilibrium of such cracks in semi-infinite and infinite domains. Our investigation of boundary cracks takes into account specific properties of the solution near crack tips, and this requires some asymptotic analysis. We obtain solutions for the problem of equilibrium of an arbitrarily oriented rectilinear (internal or boundary) crack with contact surfaces in an elastic half-plane and various loading conditions.

Previously, a similar problem was considered for a crack in an elastic plane [3]. Boundary cracks in an elastic half-plane, with contact between the surfaces neglected, were considered in [2, 6-8]. The problem of stability of a boundary rectilinear crack in a cracked half-plane, with contact friction between the surfaces neglected, was considered in [9]. Some types of zigzag cracks were studied in [10]. A radial crack issuing from a circular hole in an elastic plane, with contact interaction of the surfaces with friction, was investigated in [5]. Quasistatic growth of an arbitrary curvilinear crack in an elastic half-plane (with contact between the surfaces neglected) was studied in [11]. In [12], a statement of the problem was proposed for the description of quasistatic growth of an arbitrary boundary crack whose surfaces are interacting with friction when the elastic half-plane is subjected to cyclic loads.
